Abstract

Since 1970, the Catholic Church has not used the so-called imprecatory Psalms and verses in the Liturgy of the Hours (in total, 122 verses have been removed). This article aims to analyze the presence of controversial fragments of the Psalms in the liturgy. It consists of four parts. First, it presents the history of the process that began during the Second Vatican Council and led to the decision to remove such fragments from the liturgy. What follows, is an overview of the reception and opinions on the imprecatory Psalms over the past fifty years. The next part of this study collects arguments in favor of removing the questionable texts from the liturgy as well as an argument in favor of keeping them in it. The article concludes with an appendix of all the texts from the Book of Psalms that have been removed from the Liturgy of the Hours. The author is personally in favor of leaving the unwanted verses in the liturgy.

梵蒂冈第二次会议后数小时的礼仪中令人印象深刻的诗篇:改革、接受和辩论现状
自1970年以来,天主教会就没有在《小时礼仪》中使用所谓的诅咒诗篇和诗句(总共删除了122节)。本文旨在分析《诗篇》中有争议的片段在礼拜仪式中的存在。它由四个部分组成。首先,它介绍了梵蒂冈第二次会议期间开始的过程的历史,并导致决定将这些碎片从礼拜仪式中删除。以下,是对过去五十年来对诅咒诗篇的接受和看法的概述。本研究的下一部分收集了支持将有问题的文本从礼拜仪式中删除的论点,以及支持将其保留在礼拜仪式中的论点。文章最后附上了《诗篇》中所有从《小时礼拜仪式》中删除的文本的附录。作者个人赞成在礼拜仪式中留下不需要的诗句。

期刊介绍: Published since 2002, "Verbum Vitae" is issued biannually by the Institute of Biblical Studies of the Faculty of Theology, The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin, Poland. Each issue of the journal includes scholarly articles dedicated to a specific biblical theme and presented in three sections: (I) Old Testament, (II) New Testament, and (III) Patristics and the Life of the Church. The final "Life of the Church" perspective tries to broaden out each issue''s given topic into its multiple connections and implications, mostly dogmatic, moral, pastoral, liturgical, or sociological. The forth section of the journal always consists of reviews of recently published monographs and collections on biblical themes. Because of the journal''s interdisciplinary character, it seeks to include among the contributors not only biblical scholars but also theologians of various specializations.
